Anyone else getting tired of this general trend with KS? If I've giving money because I want to see something magic happen. not to get ancillary crap. I've seen some where there's gotta be 30%+ of the budget going in to the "rewards".
I think there's a great (ok, obvious) reason to ship t-shirts to early backers. It's essentially marketing, as you figure a good portion of those early backers are proud, & will wear it around publicly, & then your company gets talked about in new places.
(I am not asking idly. I am contemplating doing a kickstarter and I need to research how, etc.)
